yes Mario we see you there but how about
letting these guys into the spotlight
for once huh welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten underrated Nintendo
games before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content while Nintendo
may be well known for their Mario’s and
Zelda’s these games just aren’t given
enough attention or didn’t sell well on
their initial release so for this list
we’re looking at the games that were
released exclusively on Nintendo
platforms that deserve your full
attention
number 10 captain toad treasure tracker
[Music]
the idea of toad out of all Mario
characters getting his own game was
something that divided gamers what would
you do with Joe to make a game
interesting Nintendo replies with this
puzzle platformer where you help the
little guy locate starts by avoiding
shyguys goombas and piranha plants while
the game was well-received it only sold
a few hundred thousand copies on launch
I guess that’s what happens when you
launch it the same season as a new smash
brothers game with moderately
challenging puzzles beautiful scenery
and a charming personality captain toad
is an entertaining experience for all
types of gamers number 9 Kirby’s Epic
Yarn
Kirby may have retained his overloaded
cuteness but many gamers were unsure
about this different direction
after getting trapped inside a world
made of yarn Kirby is stripped of his
copy ability powers and must rely on a
predetermined set of abilities jump
float swim throw enemies unzip parts of
the world turn into a destructive Robo
tank you know mostly usual Kirby stuff
also instead of lives and a health
system the game will never let you die
only lose B’s the game saw rave reviews
but since release it’s only sold 2
million copies it may not be a
traditional Kirby game but don’t let
that be the judge on the game’s
enjoyable and calming experience number
8 startropics
[Music]
from the outside one could easily
dismiss this as a Zelda knockoff but
start tropics is truly something of
itself it is perhaps one of the most
pursue earlier games on this list armed
with a yo-yo a young boy sets out to rid
towns of evil monsters adding to the
puzzle solving found in the game a
letter was packaged with the game
cartridge once dipped in water it would
reveal codes that were crucial to your
progress next thing I know I’m cruising
a whale
and oh man since launch we’ve only seen
ports on Nintendo’s Virtual Console
along with its inclusion on the NES
classic edition we can only guess that
the launch of the SNES is what caused
this title to slip under the radar
number seven but wonderful 101 three
common wonder blue no worries dude from
the folks over at Platinum Games comes
this we knew exclusive where players
gather every day citizens in order to
turn them into monster bashing
superheroes once you’ve gathered enough
heroes you can draw upon the gamepad to
make your League of heroes form a weapon
to solve puzzles or defeat enemies
[Music]
with its gorgeous art style ridiculous
sense of humor and challenging gameplay
the wonderful 101 proved to be a solid
product on the PlatinumGames portfolio
they could have stopped at a
single-player campaign but they went the
extra mile by letting us form a super
team of our friends through five player
co-op the learning curve might be steep
with this one but your hard work is paid
off in the long run
number six meteos if you enjoy puzzle
games like Tetris attack and Puyo pop
then if we got a treasure for you
inspired by a bizarre blend of Missile
Command the matrix and the 24 TV series
this game tasks players in matching
three or more blocks of the same color
in order to launch them off the screen
and defeat their opponent
[Music]
while the game managed to launch sequels
and win awards for its music and
addictive gameplay it also only managed
to sell just over 200,000 units if this
game hasn’t caught your attention
maybe this well Fame smashed up the
Creator Masahiro Sakurai once the games
leave designer
[Music]
number 5 eternal darkness sanity’s
requiem nintendo published an M rated
horror game on a console that looks like
a purple lunch box yes and it was
surprisingly excellent for a genre they
almost never dive into receiving a high
amount of praise from critics as well as
several award still just really weren’t
up to par selling less than half a
million copies it’s such a shame given
that this is one of the most original
and creative titles to grace the
GameCube if you’re lucky enough to find
a copy prepare to consume a decent
amount of Nightmare fuel sadly it’s not
only unlikely that we’ll ever see a
follow up considering the closure of
Silicon Knights and a proposed spiritual
successor failing to gather its
crowdfunding goal number for Super Mario
Strikers
[Applause]
mário clearly a sports guy but his
career isn’t just all tennis and golf
super Mario Strikers love D soccer game
that brought a can of whoop-ass to the
Mushroom Kingdom
friends became pose foes while they were
still folks it was lanky it was
surprisingly brutal and most importantly
it was very addictive even though it’s
remembered as one of the best
multiplayer games on the Gamecube it
also released during a period when the
system was on its last legs and barely
had any support so did you find a copy
or as we sequel give it a go we promise
a lot of last number three sin and
punishment remember that one assist
trophy from Super Smash Brothers Brawl
of a kid dressed in yellow who’s flying
a pink energy sword around well this is
his game sin and punishment was one of
many great shooters offered on the n64
its run-and-gun action was almost as
addictive as dare we say starfox 64
unfortunately this games release and
sales suffered from launching towards
the end of the consoles life cycle
causing releases in North America and
Europe to be canceled but thanks to
Nintendo’s handy dandy Virtual Console
the game was released worldwide in 2007
with a sequel launching two years later
oh what’s our status
number two golden son
[Music]
the Game Boy Advance brought us many
unique and phenomenal RPGs but while we
were playing our final fantasies in
Pokemon games this gem seemed to have
slipped under our noses Golden Sun
follows a group of a depth that must
protect their world from destructive
alchemy the graphics were impressive for
a GBA title and it’s been praised by
critics as one of the most original RPGs
on the handheld sure it’s plot and
mechanics may follow the tropes of the
genre but in this case that’s not
necessarily a bad thing right
[Music]
before we get to our topic here if you
want herbal mentioning
number one Bayonetta 2
[Music]
after releasing the wonderful 101
PlatinumGames get another ball right out
of the park with this sequel to a modern
classic jumping from the xbox 360 and
ps3 predecessor playing this gave a
feeling equal to getting a new car
it was faster it was adrenaline pumping
and sexier
[Music]
however achieving perfect reviews forth
and a handful of awards can only get you
so far
as proven by the games more than
disappointing sales numbers which is
kind of criminal considering how amazing
it is so if you have a Wii you get this
game off of the eShop right now if you
don’t have a Wii U well fingers crossed
for a Nintendo switch remaster or maybe
Bayonetta 3 that would quit did you get
everything but got the caviar do you
